<p>So im new to this website. But I need help deciding which school offers a really good pre-med program. This is what I want to study, but major in Education or I can Minor in Pre-Med. But I want to know where is the best places to choose.</p>
<p>premed isnt a major/minor</p>
<p>most premeds focus on the sciences...chem...bio etc</p>
<p>Pre-med is not a major, just a set of classes that are required to apply to med school. You can major in whatever you like. While many people do major in one of the sciences, that is not necessary or necessarily good, as med schools are looking for people with a variety of backgrounds.</p>
<p>Read the OP in this thread, it is an excellent synopsis of what you need to think about in planning for med school:</p>
<p>Go to the best USNEWS ranked school with the most inflation. Individual dept ranks are irrelevant.</p>
<p>I've heard that Duke and Johns Hopkins prepare students well for med school.</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins is cut-throat competitive though. Kids literally sabotage each other for top grades. Not the best environment for most people...</p>
<p>Honestly, the best school for pre-med is the school that you'll be happy and do well at. </p>
<p>And you can major in whatever you want. Even education.</p>
<p>Agreed Johns Hopkins is for people who have a passion for medicine. They are the most qualified premeds in the country.</p>
<p>Anyways, it is best to go to a decent college with high grade inflation. Then get a good score on the MCAT.</p>
<p>I actually think JHU isn't the ideal place for pre-meds unless you are at the top of your class there. Way too much deflation and only the cream of the crop end up with an advantage at JHU med school. The rest get killed by the curves.</p>
